TIME OF ROSES

“The fusion of Pop Art and science fiction…Warholian chic and socio-political commentary.” – Mondo Digital

Set in a dystopian world of gleaming white towers, video monitors and transparent inflatable furniture – where the beautiful inhabitants all dress as Edie Sedgwick-like pixie sprites or medieval page boys out of LOGAN’S RUN – TIME OF ROSES follows a historian of 20th-century culture researching the mysterious death of a free-spirited erotic model. In a VERTIGO-like twist, he hires the model’s exact double to recreate the death for a TV program. Finnish director Risto Jarva was one of his country’s most acclaimed filmmakers and documentarians before his tragic early death in an auto accident returning from the premiere of his latest film in 1977.
